Behind the Scenes: Bodaborg

24 hours

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to collaborate together with Studio MAD and Nerds & Company. Nerds & Company created a ingenious concept for a company located in Switzerland, Sweden, Ireland and the USA. Studio MAD and I were responsible to translate the concept in film & photography. Can you guess what it's about?

Even though we were working on a tight schedule, together with a team of 10+ hardcore dedicated professionals, we managed to create all the footage we need. The result of weeks of planning, communicating and finetuning were all captured in this day. No mistakes allowed.

During the small gaps I shot a few backstage shots that showcases a small portion of the day. Special thanks to the entire crew, a few names are named underneath each photograph. Please, enjoy.

Team no sleep

The deadline is a killer for sleep. I worked 24 hours non-stop yesterday, clocked myself into bed around 7 AM this morning. Due date; Upcoming Monday. Even though it is only two photographs that need to be finished. The scope of the post-editing process is pretty big and time-consuming. There is a lot of retouching to be done, and it has to be in a specific style, which needs to be aligned within the concept and vision of Nerds & Company.

I hope you all enjoyed the backstage shots. Looks like I will have to get back to work.

Have a nice weekend!
